February 1999 He lives on the outskirts of Prishtine.
" We have a war now in Prishtine. I can hear the guns. Different kinds of guns
like automatic rifles. I can hear them in the daytime or at night. When I hear
them, I get scared and think now the war will start and never stop.
I see police and soldiers when we're driving our car on the road. They stop us
and check our papers. They are monkeys!
I see pictures of the war in newspapers and on TV. Here's how to stop a war.
Be educated. Make the soldiers go to school, and make them sit down and be
quiet. Keep their mouths closed.
I go to school. I'm in the first year. The Albanians are on the second floor
and the Serbs are on the third floor, so we don't have to walk by them. That's
good because they would threaten us and maybe beat us, and I am so little. "
From the European winter 1999. Interview by Alice Mead.
